'I Just Wanna Be Loved By You'
I adore that song!
Edit - that's Etta James, ain't it?

I'm all over the place with this, as I find someone new to obsess about on a constant basis...
Right now, I'm in a B'way obsessed phase, but before that it was
Toni Childs
Then before that, it was:

Awesome list. Isn't it "Roll With Me Henry?" Here is mine:

2.) I Just Wanna Make Love to You (Long live "The Growl")
3.) All I Could Do Was Cry
4.) Roll With Me Henry
5.) Stop the Wedding (Again, the growl....*sigh*)
6.) Tell Mama

Posted: 2/22/05 at 9:59pmHarry Connick, Jr really does it for me. Although, I wasn't too pleased with him on Will and Grace, But his singing voice is wonderful.

I'm a loser, all but like, 4 of my CDs aren't Broadway related, lol.
Non Broadway- Green Day and Josh Groban (yeah, I know it's a weird mix!)
Broadway- Avenue Q and Rent (I've been obsessing over Rent since I got it a couple months ago, actually)
#36re: Current Obsession
Posted: 2/22/05 at 11:26pmI FINALLY (!) got Green Day's American Idiot this weekend, and I'm really liking it a lot. I haven't had a chance to listen to it a whole lot, but I see it being on heavy rotation for a while. I'm also missing Cerveris' Dog Eared. My copy was stolen a couple months ago, and I'm missing it now. I've recently had an itching to hear it...guess I'll have to re-buy it. ARG!

Posted: 2/22/05 at 11:37pmI've been listening a lot to the Ultimate Brian Setzer CDs -- two live shows, pure live recordings, no studio tweaking. Great stuff.

Broadway-Rent NYTW, or just Rent. Right now I'm converting my friend, by making him listen to songs >=D
Non-Broadway- The Ataris, Norah Jones, Eve 6 and Sam Roberts

Posted: 2/23/05 at 8:44amI can't seem to get enough of Nancy LaMott's most recent (posthumous) release...her phrasing and the arrangements are really phenomenal...Live at Tavern On the Green - everyone should own a copy of it if they want to hear how a song should be acted...

Yenta - if you like Mr. Connick, you might want to check out Michael Buble'.

Posted: 2/23/05 at 9:16amLippa's Wild Party. I fiiiiiiiiinally bought it and can't put it down.
#43re: Current Obsession
Posted: 2/23/05 at 9:35amwhy is everyone so obsessed with Michael Buble'? He's only doing a carbon copy of what Sinatra did (and badly) many years ago - and his bloated face looks like a botched facelift...

Redhot - I don't know about anyone else, but there's no obsession here. I simply made the suggestion that if she likes Connick, she might want to check out Buble'. There's few recording who focus on that type of music, and he's a currently featured one.
And I won't even comment on the facial remark.

Posted: 2/23/05 at 9:47amhey Dgrant - come on - don't join the ranks of the high and mighty around here - remember, this is a forum for people to express opinions and thats exactly what I'm doing. I think Sinatra was generally a terrible singer (his phrasing was some of the worst in modern history, and he screwed up lyrics more often than any other singer that I can think of) and I think Buble is just copying his style. He has a nice enough voice, I suppose - but he's just crooning, which always puts me off. I hate it when singers just sing without any intention behind the lyrics, without connecting to them - Buble does this, and so does Josh Groban (who has a beautiful instrument - but I swear I never feel a thing when he sings).

Posted: 2/23/05 at 9:49amredhot - I'm with you on Sinatra, Buble and Groban. Bleh.

Posted: 2/23/05 at 9:51amRedhot - no high and mighty intended at all. You asked a question, and I answered it according to my perspective, that's all. However, whatever you feel about his artistry - or lack thereof - doesn't have much to do with comments about his face.
